Custom/Hybrid Gel coat and asphalt don't mix.

30 mph brake lockup and ski slides under my truck from trailer. Made me sick to my stomach when I saw the corner smashed up after throwing 10k into a ski. Please chime in on what u would do to fix this, I wanna do it right and get it back to looking like it showed up in the crate. Thanks

Ugggg, sorry to see that. On the bright side it doesn't look like any major cracking or anything structural. I say either epoxy fill or fairing filler for the gouges and hit with some gloss black and clear. Not gonna be perfect but at least it will cover it up. Looks like most of it is underside, after a few beachings those should blend in. Could always be worse... GL

 

[zzylstra]

Ya It doesn't appear to be damaged on the back corner at all. I'm gonna epoxy it then paint it, and then lay a nice clear resin on it for durability

What kind of trailer did you have it on that it just simply slid off the trailer? I have been in some pretty bad scenarios a couple times and never had a properly strapped down ski do more than maybe move a couple inches....

 

[zzylstra]

It was strapped down properly. It broke one of the straps. When I watched the pole come closer and closer in the rear view mirror I saw the strap snap.

That sucks, but as mentioned, it doesn't look that bad. GL with the repair.

 

[zzylstra]

Ya but on a good note I got some thrust trim and I need a Sano lever for the trim itself and throttle. What are u guys runnin?

Doesn't look bad.....My skis are worse than that and they haven't fallen off a trailer....Looks like you got lucky!

Tell me about it. I lost a ski at close to 100mph. Bad rear ball joint on a car with 4wheel steering. Ground the chinpad, left handlebar, Pole, and Wdk hood really bad. Completely ground off my two pissers and bilge fittings. But other than replacing the bars and outlets the ski was fine and performed with excellence...that looks bad now but
Put some surf time on that beast and you will blend it perfectly.

100mph? Lol gotta daredevil over here!! Nah I'm a napa supplier so I just ordered their probase line of paint and clear. Cost me $55 to do it all.
